I need some help. I’m running a Windows Vista 64bit computer. I can’t seem to find Boot.ini. and this link http://www.mediafire.com/?oqvgqywwemd doesn’t seem to lead me anywhere. Could somebody send me a copy of their already edited Railroads.exe? Or post it.

The map database actually does show the dates posted. We also used to have ratings but that didn’t work out for a few reasons, and the file size isn’t data I’ve been collecting, as well it wouldn’t say much about the map’s quality.

Hey guys, hope someone can help. I am new to custom maps, read through everything, but am still unable to load custom maps. I downloaded a couple, also tried MapShifter, but if I point MapShifter to the directory with the new maps in, is does not display the maps?

I tried manually managing the maps, but if I copy the contents of the downloaded map into USER/Documents/My Games/Sid Meier’e Railroads! the new map does not load in the game?

ok, I am a bit on the illeterate side here, I have just reinstalled the game, (havent updated or anything yet), I have dl’d a bunch of the custom maps to there very own folder on my desktop, I have also dl’d the mapshifter, and yes, now Im completely lost….. Can you give me step by step instructions, and dumb em down so even a lil child could understand? Thanks in advance for your help.

Patch your game to 1.10, download 7-zip. Extract the map you would like to play to a temporary folder, then copy paste the contents of this folder to the usermaps folder inside the smr folder which can be found in the “my games” folder which is found in “my documents”.

You can ignore the map shifter, I’m rewriting it is C++ and the new version should be a lot simpler, it only has one button and a file select dialog.

I have just downloaded a few of the custom maps using the map shifter (which is a heavenly gift for us computer illiterate, thank u very much). I moved all the maps to the correct folder, and they show up in the game, but when I try to load the map my game crashes. Im assuming the game is up to date since I bought it thru steam.
